Bio
Matt Crowder
Creative, diligent, intelligent, and talented are just a few of the words I would use to describe Justin if I was asked. A forward thinker who uses his design background to solve problems, attack issues and create solutions that most people would be stumped by. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Justin and look forward to when I have that opportunity again...a gem of a find, no doubt about it!
LinkedIn User
I had the pleasure to manage and mentor Justin for several years at Enwork. Certainly he is very passionate about the quality of his work as measured by satisfied customers -- very willing to pick up the phone to build both knowledge and relationships about a project. This in turn made his customers passionate supporters of him -- the ultimate sign of success. He has an unparalleled work ethic, and incredibly efficient in his work output -- those two factors together had an exponential effect on his performance.
